[anx mum]

So worried ive got some sort of heart problem all weekend ive had really bad central chest pain, shoulder pain twinge in my right eye, pins and needles.Dont know whats going on but im so scared. My hubby dosent really understand how scared i feel. All my ecgs have come bk ok dont understand why i feel so bad

[Annie0904]

I am just the same, I had an ECG tonight and it is fine. I still have terrible chest pain but I am reassured that it is just my anxiety causing it now that I know the ECG was normal.

It could be indigestion as I said before I had chest pain and it didn't feel like I had indigestion but once I had medication for it the chest pains went.

Could also be costochondritis but you need to talk to your doctor about this.

Anxiety causes chest pain too and being stressed and worried will make it worse.

You have had these chest pains before (over the last 3 years) though so it is nothing new for you and it did go so I would say it is not a heart problem.

feel so alone my hubby is talking to my sis now:weep: about me. How reliable r ecgs?

[Annie0904]

I would say they are very reliable. I am not worried at all after having mine but I still have the chest pain. I know I had a very stressful week last week and I have got indigestion too. Anxiety always gives me pains in my chest but it has been worse this week. I really think you should stop worrying and be reassured from the tests. Worrying about it will only make it worse :hugs:

cant believe my hubby talking to my sis now saying how mad i am

[nomorepanic]

ECG's are only reliable when they are done but you have had hundreds done so if there was something wrong with your heart it would be picked up.

You can see on my ECG that the heart is damaged.

He is frustrated with you I expect Bev

[anx mum]

B nice for some support from him

[nomorepanic]

Yes it would but all he sees is constant trips to A&E which can't be much fun for him either.

We forget the effect this has on our partners.

[anx mum]

Been to gps today he perscribed morphine for the pain was thinking of trying to get into a private clinal a pain clinic my hospital only start at 40 and im 33. I know i cant go on like this

[nomorepanic]

Did you ask him about the things we mentioned?

[anx mum]

Yeah they basially think i have like frozen shoulder, and they dont know what pain in chest is my main concern is angina

[nomorepanic]

Well they could find out if it was angina and give you a GTN spray to see if it helped.

[anx mum]

How could they find out? Im really worried?

[nomorepanic]

I guess they have ways of testing for angina
